apply-design-theory
MCP prompt for applying design theory concepts to improve a sketch
apply-design-theory
Structured prompt template that guides an AI agent through applying design theory concepts to improve or evolve an existing sketch.
Arguments
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sketchId | string | yes | ID of the sketch to improve |
theory | string | yes | Design theory to apply |
Available theories
| Theory | Description |
|---|---|
golden-ratio | Apply golden ratio proportions to composition |
rule-of-thirds | Align elements to thirds grid |
complementary | Use complementary color harmony |
analogous | Use analogous color harmony |
triadic | Use triadic color harmony |
visual-balance | Balance visual weight across the composition |
symmetry | Apply symmetrical or asymmetrical balance |
contrast | Increase contrast in value, color, or scale |
Behavior
The prompt guides the agent through:
- Load the design skill — retrieve the relevant skill knowledge
- Analyze the current sketch — identify how the theory applies
- Modify the algorithm — update the code to incorporate the theory
- Adjust parameters — set parameter values that reflect the theory
- Update colors — apply color theory if applicable
Example usage
Use the apply-design-theory prompt with:
sketchId: "spiral-particles"
theory: "golden-ratio"Output
The prompt guides the agent to use MCP tools in sequence:
load_skill— load the relevant design skillopen_sketch— load the target sketchupdate_algorithm— modify the algorithm to apply the theoryset_parameters/set_colors— adjust valuessave_sketch— persist the changes
